Aims and Scope

PARTICUOLOGY , a bimonthly in English, is jointly sponsored by Chinese Society of Particuology and Institute of Process Engineering , Chinese Academy of Sciences, and published by Elsevier B. V. and Science Press.

The word PARTICUOLOGY was coined to parallel the Chinese title for the science and technology of particles, , which covers all related branches of the physical sciences including mathematics and spans a range of industries to include chemical, petrochemical, agricultural, food, pharmaceuticals, mineral processing, advanced materials, energy, and the environment .

This journal purports to present the best papers in research, engineering and application in the overall field of particuology, including particle characterization, particle preparation, aerosol, fluidization and ultra-fine particles, and ranging from the molecular level to the systems level. The Editors particularly welcome contributions on newly emerging topics that fall within the board scope of particuology.

Core topics are: aerosol science and technology, colloids, nanotechnology, crystallization and precipitation , multiphase flow, fluidization technology, bulk solids technology, material science and engineering, pharmaceutical and bio- and medical technology, soft matter physics, food, vitamins, healthcare and personal-care products, food, coatings, ceramics, emulsions, filled functional polymers, minerals, pigments, printable pastes, sensors and catalysts, modeling and simulation of particle systems.
